Sophie’s pov

Aiden looked stunned for a few seconds until his face flushed with red and he awkwardly lifted his hand in his hair.

He scratches the back of his head and tore his gaze away from mine before clearing his throat.

He looked as awkward as ever, face bright with red.

He cleared his throat a couple of times and laughed

composed. He was awkward and I found it oddly adorable.

To tease him more and make him even more awkward, I lift a brow and said. “How about you start by explaining to me where you got that picture?”

I tilt my head and stared into the ocean swirls that warmed my belly. “I don’t recall taking it.”
